(b) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. (i) This Lease shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, including all matters of construction, validity and performance. Lessor and Lessee hereby expressly submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal courts situated in San Francisco, California. Lessee further agrees that any legal action or proceeding against it or any of its assets may be brought in California or in any jurisdiction where Lessee or any of its assets may be found.



 (ii) Lessee further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, to Lessee at its address set forth in Exhibit C hereto. The foregoing, however, shall not limit the rights of the Lessor to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to bring any legal action or proceeding or to obtain execution of judgment or to recover the Aircraft in any jurisdiction. Lessee further agrees that final judgment against Lessee in any action or proceeding or arbitration in connection with this Lease shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside of California by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and the amount of Lessee's indebtedness. Lessee hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection which Lessee may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease brought in California or the courts of any country or place where Lessee or any of its assets may be found, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in California has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
